MICK WELCOMES EMYR RETURN

Mick McCarthy is hoping that midfielder Emyr Huws could be available for selection as soon as Saturday, when Blues host Preston at Portman Road.

The Wales international is yet to feature for Town since a permanent move to Suffolk from Cardiff in the summer, but is involved with the U23s today as he works his way back to full fitness following an achilles problem.

“If he gets through the game today then in my view he’s available for Saturday” Mick told iFollow Ipswich.

“There’s no doubting his ability, he just needs to get 90 minutes.

“It’s nice to see him smiling again. He trained with us all last week and I know he’s looking forward to playing.

“Unfortunately Tom [Adeyemi] is struggling a bit though and he won’t be available until after the international break.”
